Jame updated the latest video on his personal channel, describing the team’s situation and conflicts during the RMR period, and answered questions in the comment section.
Who is responsible for making the decision to change people
In addition to the players, there are also many staff, managers, and coaches in our team, and such major decisions must not be the responsibility or influence of any one person. In fact, your position within the team is not important, and everyone can be replaced. The achievements achieved by the team are the result of the efforts of a group of people, whether they are contestants or members behind the scenes.
About KaiR0N replacing n0rb3r7
Qikert and n0rb3r7 are players who play in the same position. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to Qikert for all his sacrifices and contributions. He has changed his familiar playing style and position for the team, and has worked hard to learn and do his best. But in this situation, we constantly encounter the launch of the lineup, making it difficult to achieve any breakthroughs. So we went to look for a new player who matched our positioning and could integrate into our playing style. This is different from the ideas of other IGLs, such as Nafany and Karrigan.
We have firmly chosen Fame and achieved results, but this time we are just following the same process, except that the target is KaiR0N. KaiR0N is a young and highly talented player with great potential, but currently he only lacks some practical experience. The defeat of RMR was simply caused by an unreasonable schedule and fatigue, and what VP needed was more adjustment and rest time.
About changing people during the competition schedule
I don’t want to discuss our internal decisions much, but we have reached a consensus that ‘this lineup cannot win’. Even though we have prepared countless tactics and have been immersed in training matches all day, we still cannot defeat any team. At this point, the team’s mentality has already fallen behind. So we transferred KaiR0N and replaced it with n0rb3r7, and attempted to replicate the success of the previous Major. But unfortunately, we encountered MOUZ with a positive feeling and lost the qualification to advance to Major.
KaiR0N and n0rb3r7 were aware of the possibility of rotation before the competition, and they were not surprised during this process.
Why is KaiR0N not suitable for this team
It is no exaggeration to say that KaiR0N is one of the most powerful young players in the CIS. But our team has strict requirements for the player’s position, and the consequence of forcibly substituting KaiR0N into the character is that he is playing very uncomfortable. We need players outside of the command to break through, and I use AWP to cover their advance, which is our unique game style and different from most teams.
I need my teammates to have extremely strong execution ability, be able to accurately execute the gameplay I envision, and accomplish many things that I cannot accomplish as a sniper. KaiR0N is learning quickly, but for our team, he is still a bit behind. If the VP wants to reach the pinnacle again, there are only two options: Change my IGL position or find a player with more experience than KaiR0N.
